Neutrality and Narratives: Situating Middle Grades Preservice Teachers in Broader Educational Discourses
Ranschaert, Rachel
Middle Grades Review, v7 n1 Article 5 Apr 2021
This paper forwards discourse analysis as a productive way to consider the ways in which the possibilities available for middle grades preservice teachers in justice-oriented teacher education programs are complicated by larger discourses relating to teacher neutrality and teacher education as a transformational narrative. To illustrate this, written journals from 12 preservice teachers in a justice-oriented teacher education program are analyzed and discussed.
